TNT Week 1 wrap up

Week 1, and a long Labor Day weekend, are in the books, and for some teams, well, I bet they wish they had a longer Labor Day to get over some of the pain. The pain of a tough first game.

In game 1, The HUSKIES showed that they could share the scoring load with 3 players in double digits in a close but not so close game against the HEELS. She' "lightning bolt" Richmond led a strong effort for the HEELS with 12, but fell short 7 in the end. After the game, Coach Genz said "his team found success by keeping the ball out of his hands."

In game 2, B Jones' EAGLES, led my Ealey "Mad Man" Mungo's 18 pts, were no match for the 44 pts, including a league record 12 3's, dropped in by the TIGERS' Desmond "the Drain" Gaines. To add insult to injury, The TIGERS proved they just might be the team to beat with 18 more from Andy "the German Nightmare" Laible.

Game 3 left alot to be desired, from the BULLS that is. The BULLS kept it close, but in the end, they were no match for Wiley's Wildcats led by Jade "all I shoot is lay ups" Templeton, and Tyler "MVP" Bathrick.

In the redeye match, The BOBCATS looked to run on the much bigger BUCKEYES, with 9 from both Dusty "D-Money" Thompson and Keith "Lights Out" Lewis, but in the end, were no match for coach Moll's work horses. Brad "Big Man" Lessmeister and Darrell "Bangin down Lo" Bagwell both scored in double digits to lead the BUX over the BOBCATS in a game that was controlled on the boards.

Some teams have some work to do. Others, I'm sure, enjoyed a relaxing 3 day weekend.
